Tank Volume

Volume calculation based on measured coordinates
with SOKKIA total stations, 3-DIM Observer, and 3-DIM PT

On-site survey:
The volume of a workpiece, a space, or a tank with numerous corners and edges is to be determined.
Corner points of the volume body are easily measured with reflectorless SOKKIA instruments.
The smart functionality of the 3-DIM Observers makes it even possible to determine edge locations without using targets.
Reflectorless points measured with instruments of the NET series have accuracies greater than 1 mm.
Points are already automatically connected with one another by lines right in the 3-DIM Observer during the measurement. This subsequently yields an illustrative grid model in 3-DIM PT. Analyses are thereby greatly facilitated and simplified.

Analysis with 3-DIM PT:
The result is available in just a few steps:
The measured data are exported to 3-DIM PT. The grid model is manually converted to areas.
Once the volume body is finished, the volume is calculated automatically.

Documentation:
In addition to the graphical depiction, it is also possible to generate an Excel table listing the analysis results. The measured values can be entered into an Excel worksheet simply by pushing a button.
The volume data can be imported from 3-DIM PT using copy & paste. The clearly structured documentation is available in just a few minutes and can be used as a PDF document or a printout.
